Bardonna - Santa Monica

Got chicken bowl with matcha tea latte which was very good and filling. Others got the lavender latte, ice coffee and peanut butter beer with Mediterranean bowl, salmon lox bagel platter and a steak sandwich. Would come back. Service was prompt but it was too crowded. I dislike how there is hardly any place to sit and you feel crammedZ

Shocked by all the bad reviews. I go regularly and haven't experienced any of the issues mentioned. Don't let the stars keep you from trying the iced horchata cold brew or their amazing French toast that I swear has orange zest and a half pound of berries. Love this place.

Tables are relatively small but the dishes were amazing! So many options to choose from which was a bit overwhelming but each was delicious :

Splendid! Elaine my Lyft passenger suggested their vegan breakfast burrito which with its tender kale and potatoes was purrrfekt! Great ambience, service, vibe!!

Based on two visits, their food is mostly good. The menu does not say that they charge a 10% service fee and there is no mention of it at the checkout either. On both of my visits I’ve had to ask the waiters multiple times for the drinks I ordered. In addition on both visits the coffee has been missing extra-charged plant milk. The waiters seem to be a bit lost, when I asked about the orders, no one knows anything. There was also a piece of hair in the ordered waffle. The burrata they served tasted like blue cheese. Even though the burrata returned to the kitchen and the waiter came to ask about the new burrata (tasting also like blue cheese), no refund was offered.
